A way around the problem with overloaded DNS servers is to find some others to use as backups. If you ping websites from a command prompt and don't get immediate address resolution, DNS is the problem. Turn off DHCP on DNS for your connection and insert the static address of a DNS server from a local college or other public accessible server. Sometimes, if you do work from home, your place of business will let you use their public side accessible DNS server, if they have one.
